100% recommended the fidget popper pallets. A good majority of paints pop out with no issues.

[@Ulrican414]

Here's a tip I got from Sorastro put a bit of flow improver and water on a well and use that to thin your thicker paints, like Kimera, scale 75, metalics etc. it's a game changer.

[@TheRonHockman]

I like glaze medium, but the Vallejo in particular dramatically and I mean DRAMATICALLY increases drying time. To the point where I don't use it any longer. The Pro Acryl is good. Scale75 "Dispel Magic" is my favorite.

[@CAMSLAYER13]

Baking soda is great for accelerating superglue, not nearly as clean looking but is is very strong. If you are building terrain its quite good

[@mikkelkirketerp4884]

Also it adds actual structure as well, so perfect when your parts are not perfectly flat.

[@robrand4891]

Instead of wasting money on a glue accelerator use IPA. a little drop of IPA and then super glue your piece, instant bond. Works amazing on resin prints.

[@Jakethebaron]

I use some version of all of these things. They really do matter.

[@howardcoates6985]

all useful items. As an added comment: buy your basic painter's tools, sprue cutters, files, sanding sticks, hobby knife etc at your local hardware store instead of a gaming or hobby store. better quality, and way cheaper. Mechanics picks, they look like dental picks, are also great to have and cheap at Princess Auto or the local equivalent.

[@krzysztofmathews738]

Some good tips here! Thank you for putting this list together.

[@TigerShady]

Thanks for the link, I'll try those Swedish paper towels.

[@EatPoo]

Great video! Thank you!

[@muuphariusmuumegon]

One product I would recommend over the tac putty normally used to fix minis to handles: go buy a 25 ft roll of grey butyl roofing putty tape. Works so much better and I’ve been using the same 25 ft roll for two yrs now

[@CrashCourseHobbies]

I'll check it out thanks for the rec!

[@kaz9357]

Never thought about the cloth napkin things. That is interesting

[@goforitpainting]

Cool tools 🛠

[@the250mikec]

Swedish paper towls you say? Cool👍 I use the blue shop towels, they last forever, fold in four n you have 8 sides

[@doggolovescheese1310]

I use the masterson wet pallette pads, they work so well, you just need to hang dry them so no mold accumulates.
Then over that i use acrylic masterson wet pallette paper OR baking parchment paper. You can get a rol of parchment paper for cheap.

[@TheEnd]

Thanks!

[@UnvarnishedTarnished]

Regarding CA Activator -- be careful when spraying on top of PLA / Painted surfaces. It can affect the colors.

[@kevinanderson422]

Overall, solid list. You may have convinced me to try some glaze medium, and I continue to be intrigued by the fidget popper for speedpaints & metallics. I'm a little dumbfounded how you wore out a squeeze bottle, I've been running two for H2O & IPA over a year now and they still feel practically brand new.
I'm not sold on the wash well, though. I've seen it a few times now and it just feels like extra work to me. So quick & easy to dump and refill a cup, and those wells don't look like they hold enough to significantly reduce trips to a sink. If it helps you clean your brushes more often though, more power to you.

[@CrashCourseHobbies]

Totally fair. I wouldn’t have bought one if I didn’t get it with the kickstarter bundle. But since I have one it’s worked for me. Let me know what you think of the glaze medium. It’s good stuff.

[@brentcox6201]

like you I thought the flusher thing was really dumb until I used one, and oh my goodness

[@saintmatthew956]

Great list. I'd like to think I'm between a beginner and intermediate mini painter. For the life of me, I cant seem to get glaze medium to work. I've watched over a dozen videos. No clue what I'm doing wrong. 🙃

[@bobbym.1367]

Anyone has any advice for a old painter that must now paint for a living?

[@MarkWidner]

Have you tried dampening one side of the parts with water and the other with super glue? Works with my gorilla glue version.

[@bobafetske4200]

Is the Vallejo flow improver different than the Vallejo paint retarder?

[@PlasticAddict301]

What are those racks you're using for your ProAcryl paints?

[@CrashCourseHobbies]

They are nail polish racks from Amazon. I think they are linked in my gear list in the description but Amazon sells lots of similar shelves.

[@Jigsaw765]

My brother in Christ the glaze medium from pro acryl is $16

[@niallrichardcurran2466]

is lahmian medium a glaze medium?

[@CrashCourseHobbies]

I think it’s officially a contrast medium but I bet you could use it as a glaze medium. It would have different properties than water. I need to try that out and see!

[@FictionalCookie]

The cellulose rags are really good as a wet pallete sponge, i use two sheets stacked on top of each other cut to the size of a shallow tupperware box
just keep in mind that they expand when wet so cut it to size while its already wet
